Paris Compass tools (6)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
compare_locationsScores two points with score_location's method and returns both sets side by side, plus a per-axis numeric delta (b minus a). No combined verdict: a single score would average axes that pull in opposite directions for different trades, which is exactly what this product refuses to do (PERIMETRE.md \xA74).
explain_scoreFull detail on a single axis of score_location \u2014 value, source, licence, date, method and caveat \u2014 as a sentence and as structured data. Use after score_location to justify one figure rather than re-deriving it from the full response.
find_premisesGround-floor premises surveyed by APUR's door-to-door BDCom census near a point, each with the location_id that trace_premise takes. Returns candidates, not a single match: premises routinely share an address and a coordinate, so picking one is the caller's decision. Vintage 2023 only (the sole ODbL vintage) \u2014 a premise that stopped being retail before 2023 is not listed here, and trace_premi
list_sourcesEvery dataset the Compass tools actually draw from, with licence and freshness. Not a marketing list \u2014 only sources a tool call here will really touch.
score_locationScores one point on five amenity categories (schools, healthcare, groceries, parks, transit), walkability, a footfall proxy, and a road-noise proxy \u2014 each figure carrying its source, licence, date and method. No single score out of 100: PERIMETRE.md refuses one on the grounds that weights depend on the trade, so axes are returned separately.
trace_premiseEverything known about one premise in chronological order: APUR BDCom survey rows (2017, 2020, 2023) and BODACC legal notices \u2014 business sales with their published price, safeguard, receivership and liquidation proceedings. Every row carries the record it came from, its evidence, and a derived confidence level with the rule that produced it. Answers 'has a restaurant ever been here', 'has thi

Compass
Context is the product.
Most commercial-property tools describe the unit - floor area, rent, photos - and leave you to infer the rest. But, a shopfront is only one part of the answer. Compass reads the street around it: what was there, what is changing, and what shapes its daily life nearby.

Compass sells neither coverage nor granularity — it sells interpretation. The point is how clearly we turn a raw figure into a decision you can make today.
And an interpretation is worth only what you can check. The tools in this market promise answers grounded in audited data — that names who verified. Compass promises figures re-derivable from a cited public source — that names who can verify: you. An internal audit is a promise. A cited source is a test anyone can rerun, including against us.
A 3/6/9 lease is a nine-year bet, made today on one visit, a hunch about passing trade, and whatever the landlord says.
The question
You are standing in front of an empty shopfront. The agent says the street is lively.
Compass answers on six axes at once.
Each of those arrives with its source, its date and its confidence level.
Note the wording, because the product keeps it too: air quality is measured, noise is modelled. Noise and footfall are proxies, labelled as such on screen and here.
Three that deserve more than a line
Has a kitchen ever been here? If a restaurant occupied the unit, the extraction, grease trap and power are probably already in. If not, creating them runs into tens of thousands and needs the building's agreement. The most expensive question this data answers — before you travel.
Is this a graveyard or a good street? Rue d'Argout turned over half its shops in three years — but it also filled its three empty units. Churning upward, not dying. And turnover only means something against its own trade: of the cafés trading in 2017, 77% were still trading six years later around Les Halles, 56% in the quartier du Mail. Same city, same trade, a different bet.
What did people actually pay? 25 661 goodwill sales published with their price since 2015. For the 5 971 tied to a single shopfront, the median Paris fonds changes hands between 160 000 and 170 000 € — a range, not a point, because goodwill prices are declared in round numbers: the median sits on a step and moves in jumps, so a single figure would be precise about something the source is not. The trade decides almost everything.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
